Ridges left unburned or intermixed with parts burned, surveyed and deemed as burned, as to the penalty on offender.

>IV. And whereas to evade the said penalty, and to render the surveying of such lands, so burned, difficult and expensive, the persons so offending often leave narrow ridges or paths unburned, intermixed with the paths so burned; by means whereof landlords have been deterred from suing for the said penalty: for remedy whereof be it further enacted and declared by the authority aforesaid, That all such ridges or paths, so left unburned or intermixed with the parts so burned, shall and may be surveyed in one common survey with the other part or parts, that shall be so burned, and that they shall and may be deemed and considered as part of the land so burned, so far as to subject the person or persons, so offending, to the penalty in the said act mentioned, equally as if no such ridges or paths had been so left unburned.
